About this business

TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

I've tried two different Dave's Hot Chicken locations and both have been on point. DON'T LET THE WORD "SLIDER" FOOL YOU! These sandwiches are huge!! I think the medium spice level is the perfect choice for flavor and just a touch of heat. I feel they provide a great value and amazing flavor.

The line for Raising Cane's was down the block. I had it before, I knew it wasn't worth the wait. I went to Dave's and was immediately served by polite & professional staff. Restaurant kept nice and clean throughout. Get the #3 combo, can't go wrong. Know how well you can handle spicy chicken before going here. Chicken was crispy, flavorful, and juicy. Dave's OG sauce took it to a whole new level. The plain piece of white bread was a bit stale. I would've rather had R.C.'s Texas toast. Seasoned cheesy fries are delicious.... read more

This was my first time trying Dave’s Hot Chicken and it was legit. It’s way better than Raisin Canes. Additionally, my fiancé and I started off with one medium tender, and it was awesome. We decided to spend the coins to get 10 tenders (5 hot and 5 medium). Everything was great until the heat from the hot tenders snuck up on us. They were extremely hot. I was toast lol.

I am visiting from Canada, on a business trip. Searched up halal options nearby and found Dave’s. I am impressed with the taste, menu and quality. We have Popeyes, Mary Browns and KFC, all halal now, in Canada. But you guys beat all of them!

This has always been my go-to restaurant for quality food. The tenders are always juicy, full of flavor, and large in proportion in comparison to the "sliders". The seasoning they coat the breading with is my favorite I've ever tasted. The variety of different ingredients they include with the sandwiches is also top notch, and provides the perfect blend of flavors for me. For those of you who really like pickles, these ones are fantastic. Adding honey is also highly recommended if you haven't tried it yet! The staff is also ... read more
